When Are the Buses on Strike

Step one: Don’t panic. Step two: Panic a little, but only enough to make a backup plan. Call a friend with a car, check ride-share prices (they’ll surge, obviously), or embrace your inner explorer and walk. Walking is free, healthy, and—if you time it right—you can pretend you’re on a podcast. “This is my journey of self-discovery,” you’ll murmur, while dodging a puddle. Very dramatic.
Also: bike-sharing apps exist for moments like this. You’ll look like a tourist, but a tourist who gets to work on time. That’s a win.

The Unofficial Strike Calendar (Made Up, But Possibly Accurate)
From my years of bus-related trauma, I’ve noticed patterns. Strikes love early autumn. Why? Because the weather is mild, and people are still bitter about summer ending. Spring strikes happen when contracts expire, but they’re usually short—people want to enjoy cherry blossoms. Winter strikes are rare because nobody wants to freeze on a picket line. Unions have winter jackets, sure, but they also have common sense. Mostly.
If you hear about a strike during a heatwave, just assume the drivers are demanding more water breaks. That’s not a strike—that’s a hydration protest. I respect it.
